MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

[You have successfully modified the weapon 'True Blade of Samadhi'.]

[Due to the immense modification done, the weapon has gained the ability to tap into a far greater expanse of power it initially couldn't, thus increasing the weapon's rarity to Legendary.]

[A great number of materials have also been added to the weapon, increasing the potential the weapon has for further advancements.]

[Rather than be content with what you have created, you have instead made the choice to take the artifact 'True Blade of Samadhi' to greater heights, risking it all for greater power.]

[Luckily, the heavens were in your favor, allowing the artifact to break away from its original path and ascend to a far greater realm. With that, the heavens have decided to reward you in accordance to the effort and risks you've taken.]

[What was once the True Blade of Samadhi now instead yields the flame that embodies true destruction. Yet, at the same time, the flame also embodies hope, as well as the future of the world.]

[Thanks to this, the artifact 'True Blade of Samadhi' has now been named by the heavens as the 'Supreme Blade of Primeval Flames'.]

[This new artifacts reflects all of the modifications and improvements made by the blacksmith to the original artifact, hoping to serve as a model for many more generations of blacksmiths to emulate, imitate, replicate, and eventually… create.]

Reading through the great number of notifications he had received from the system regarding the weapon's successful upgrade, Valyr felt an immense amount of relief as he felt a great burden being lifted off his shoulders.

At the same time, he deactivated all of the skills he had kept activated thus far, instantly feeling the relief be replaced with exhaustion as he sunk into the sofa the workshop provided.

"Who knew forging a Legendary grade item would be this taxing?" Muttering these words to himself, Valyr let out a slight chuckle as he took out a few potions from his spatial bracelet.

Accompanying those potions with a vial of rousing, he then downed all of them in one go, feeling his condition return to a far better state within seconds.

Though there was still a bit of distance to him returning to peak condition, the young man still felt much better than before as he took a look at the item he had just forged once more.

What was once a blade that embodied an incredibly terrifying flame, the Supreme Blade of Primeval Flames now looked like an incredibly sleek sword that would be put up as a clan heirloom.

However, from the materials and effort he had put into the upgrade thus far, the young man knew that even though the sword looked docile at first glance, it housed a flame that was far more terrifying than what was in the True Blade of Samadhi.

With its blade taking on colors that ranged from red to orange, the hilt and the handle of the blade were colored pitch-black, forming a stark contrast that complemented the beauty the blade brought.

Though, at the same time, it made people give more focus towards the blade, reminding them of the lethality and destructiveness that slumbered within.

"[Superior Analysis]." Curious as to how much of an improvement his upgrade brought, Valyr went ahead and used his identification skill to satisfy his curiosity.

Fortunately, the upgrade did not disappoint.

Ding!

"Surely this is more than enough to win the fight, right?" Whistling in admiration as he read through the artifact's lengthy description, Valyr briefly spared a glance towards Nila to see how she was faring.

Though, just as he had noticed that she was quite close to finalizing her upgrade, something weird began to happen to his forging hammer.

Hum…

Noticing that his Hammer of Beginnings was starting to make a faint sound, Valyr picked it up in confusion as he wondered what was going on.

However, rather than stop, the Hammer of Beginnings began to hum in greater intensity while in his grasp, slightly rattling about during the process.

Thankfully, the incident did not last long, with the hammer returning to normal after absorbing a mote of energy that the Supreme Blade of Primeval Flames released.

Ding!

Hearing a series of notification sounds go off in his mind once more, Valyr opened up his notification screen in curiosity.

Only to read through his new notifications with surprise evident in his eyes.

[Due to having forged an item of Legendary grade, the title 'Forger of Epics' has been upgrade to 'Forger of Legends'.]

[Having used the Hammer of Beginnings to forge an artifact of Legendary grade, the forging artifact has seen a glimpse of its true purpose, as well as the road of potential that awaits it.]

[Having absorbed a bit of energy that the Supreme Blade of Primeval Flames exudes, the Hammer of Beginnings has evolved to Legendary grade.]

[However, the user would need to forge more artifacts of the other remaining elements for the artifact to truly be considered Legendary.]

[The Hammer of Beginnings' skill 'Breath of Flames' has been upgraded accordingly.]
